Due to recent changes regarding applications for International nurses to Australia and the combining of the nursing boards to one central nursing board in Australia AHPRA I have started a new thread for people to discuss the new process on working in Australia.
Currently New Zealand is not accepting new applicants from International trained nurses except those that meet the Trans Tasman Mutual Recognition Agreement {TTMR} this will be updated once the New Zealand nursing board reopen their books to International nurses.

hi! got the exact same email from ahpra wa last april 30. i also told them that i already sent them those documents but they emailed me back that they need me to send an up to date cv and reference letter as well so i have no choice but to comply. did you send your application to wa also?
Does your Certificate of employment and CV contain the details listed above? Do not just submit a copy of your Coe and cv. Review your documents.
hi bobby123!
i have no problem when it comes to my CV. However, regarding my coe, i am currently employed as a company nurse but i already gained 1 year experience as a staff nurse. So what i did was i submitted my coe both from my previous(hospital) and current(company) employerrs. Indicated on my coe(hospital) were bed capacity, position, # of hours rendered unit assigned and inclusive dates and it was signed the Vice Presisdent of HR. On the other hand, the info on my other coe(company) contained the inclusive dates and position only. I gave importance of my hopsital experience since my experience as company nurse is not accepted. I thought it was just okey.
Star17,Does your coe contain words from your referee to say that you practiced safely and competently as a nurse, did you write full-time or part time. Just few of the things you did not include in your 'coe' hence incomplete. You are after a professional reference letter and not a certificate from HR.
